Unsteady flow of Casson fluid past through a vertical channel has been studied by some researchers due to its importance of applications in science and technology. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to obtain exact solutions for unsteady free convection flows of Casson fluid with effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) past through vertical channel. This paper is continued study from published article [18] with additional effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Dimensional governing equations are converted into dimensionless forms by using appropriate dimensionless variables. Dimensionless parameters are obtained through dimensionless process such as Casson fluid, time, Prandtl number, Grashof number and magnetic field. Laplace transform method is used to solve the dimensionless equations with associated initial and boundary conditions. Solutions for velocity and temperature profiles are obtained. Skin friction and Nusselt number are also calculated. The obtained analytical results for velocity and temperature are plotted graphically to discuss the influence of dimensionless parameters on profiles. It is observed that fluid velocity increases with increases of Grashof number, Gr and time, t whereas it decreases with increases of Casson parameter, γ, magnetic field parameter, M and Prandtl number, Pr. Besides that, it is found that temperature profiles decrease with high value of Prandtl number, Pr while increases with high value of time, t. In order to validate the results, the obtained results in limiting cases are compared with the published results and it is found to be in a mutual agreement.
Many researchers study the Casson fluid flow in the cylinder since it imitates human blood flow in the small arteries. However, only a few researchers considered slip velocity at the boundary. The slip velocity is crucial in blood flow study due to naturally occurs during stretchable movement of the arteries. Hence, the study aims to obtain analytical solutions and understand the fluid flow behaviour with the slip velocity effect for the unsteady free convection flow of Casson fluid in a cylinder. The analytical solutions are obtained by using the joint methods of the finite Hankel transform and the Laplace transform. All initial and boundary conditions are satisfied by the analytical solutions that were obtained. The behaviour of velocity and temperature profiles are plotted and discussed graphically. It is evident from the results that increasing the slip velocity, Grashof number and time will enhance blood velocity while increasing the Casson parameter causes a decrement of blood velocity. Besides, the Prandtl number increases resulting in blood velocity and the blood temperature falling. Lastly, the obtained analytical solution is validated by comparing it with the previous study and found to be in good mutual agreement. The obtained analytical solution is significant to check the accuracy of the numerical solutions
Casson fluid is a non-Newtonian fluid with its unique fluid behaviour because it behaves like an elastic solid or liquid at a certain condition. Recently, there are several studies on unsteady Casson fluid flow through a cylindrical tube have been done by some researchers because it is related with the real-life applications such as blood flow in vessel tube, chemical and oil flow in pipelines and others. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study is to obtain analytical solutions for unsteady flow of Casson fluid pass through a cylinder with slip velocity effect at the boundary condition. Dimensional governing equations are converted into dimensionless forms by using the appropriate dimensionless variables. Dimensionless parameters are obtained through dimensionless process such as Casson fluid parameters. Then, the dimensionless equations of velocity with the associated initial and boundary conditions are solved by using Laplace transform with respect to time variable and finite Hankel transform of zero order with respect to the radial coordinate. Analytical solutions of velocity profile are obtained. The obtained analytical result for velocity is plotted graphically by using Maple software. Based on the obtained result, it can be observed that increasing in Casson parameter, time and slip velocity will lead to increment in fluid velocity. Lastly, Newtonian fluid velocity is uniform from the boundary to the center of cylinder while Casson fluid velocity is decreased when approaching to the center of cylinder. The present result is validated when the obtained analytical solution of velocity is compared with published result and found in a good agreement.
Nano-cryosurgery is one of the effective ways to treat cancerous cells with minimum harm to healthy adjacent cells. Clinical experimental research consumes time and cost. Thus, developing a mathematical simulation model is useful for time and cost-saving, especially in designing the experiment. Investigating the Casson nanofluid's unsteady flow in an artery with the convective effect is the goal of the current investigation. The nanofluid is considered to flow in the blood arteries. Therefore, the slip velocity effect is concerned. Blood is a base fluid with gold (Au) nanoparticles dispersed in the base fluid. The resultant governing equations are solved by utilising the Laplace transform regarding the time and the finite Hankel transform regarding the radial coordinate. The resulting analytical answers for velocity and temperature are then displayed and visually described. It is found that the temperature enhancement occurred by arising nanoparticles volume fraction and time parameter. The blood velocity increases as the slip velocity, time parameter, thermal Grashof number, and nanoparticles volume fraction increase. Whereas the velocity decreases with the Casson parameter. Thus, by adding Au nanoparticles, the tissue thermal conductivity enhanced which has the consequence of freezing the tissue in nano-cryosurgery treatment significantly.
Recently, fluid with fractional-order derivative model attracted many researchers to further study compared with the classical fluid mode since it is more precise and realistic. To imitate the applications of blood flow in narrow arteries, researchers focused on the fractional Casson fluid flow in the cylinder. However, most researchers solved the problems numerically and without considering the slip effect at the boundary. Thus, obtaining solutions analytically to the unsteady fractional Casson fluid flow in the slip cylinder with free convection is the goal of this study. The Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative approach is utilized to model this problem. By joining the approach of the Laplace transform and finite Hankel transform, the fractional governing equations are solved, and analytical solutions to the velocity and temperature profiles are gained. The fluid velocity rises as the slip velocity and Grashof number increase and it declines with the increment of the Casson parameter and Prandtl number. Increasing the fractional parameter will result in an increase in fluid velocity and temperature for a large time interval. The slip velocity effect influenced fluid flow, especially at the cylinder’s wall. These findings are beneficial to explore the more fractional-order derivative model and for studying the problems in biomedical engineering.
